Dear Q-E users
I am newbie to hybrid pseudopotential  calculations. While runing the
calculations for my system, I always struck with this error. after searing
the pwsf-archives, I came to know that the  *nqx1 =* variable needs to
changed. However I have tried some combinations, but every time come up
with the same error. I am using Q-E 5.0.2. Can anyone help me how can I get
rid of this problem.

 *Error in routine electrons (1):*
*     dexx is negative!  Check that exxdiv_treatment is appropriate for the
system.*
